790 DESIGN FAULT WARNING - I've just been told that KTM UK will not repair my 790 under warranty - it seems the lower crank case has been damaged by pressure from the right footrest going through the lower fixing bolt attached to the rear of the engine block. This has broken off part of the engine block surrounding the bolt leaving a hairline crack in the engine case - guess I was lucky riding it home through the whole of France a week ago.
It may not be a mechanical fault but it seems to me a real design fault to fix the bolt there where it appears the smallest nudge will break it as there's literally no sign of damage on the bottom of the footrest or the rest of the bottom of the bike.

O - is the 790 meant to go off road or not!
I'm waiting for a reply from KTM - boy are they hard to get hold of - nice move to let your dealer take the flack then become almost impossible to get hold of. Will keep you posted.
Encore une fois, je ne comprends pas la conception de KTM. Le bloc moteur semble être un appui du cale-pied droit. Tout comme le sabot de protection. Si c'est bien le cas, ce n'est pas si mais quand le bloc moteur sera endommagé.
Prudence et attente avant de se lancer dans l'achat à mon avis
Un autre témoignage, un Suisse a participé à la HAT Pavie - San Remo et vu les conditions climatiques, son garde-boue avant a été arraché (modèle S). De plus mauvais choix de pneus (route).
